Re: Yamaha RHH135 with Roland TD-3?
Yamaha and Roland use different methods for the hi hat controller. One uses a switch (Yamaha) while Roland uses an FSR (force sensitive resistor) to create the open/close on the hi hat. As you've already figured out, the RHH135 will not work on the TD-3. The VH11 wlll work, but the module only supports open/close/half open, so I don't think it's going to give you what you're after either and will be a big investment for something that will do the same as a cy-5.
You could call Roland and order a new FSR for your FD-8. I replaced mine and ordered a spare at the same time.
